This document provides background information on recommender systems and their application to health recommendations. It first discusses the basics of recommender systems, including collaborative filtering methods that analyze user correlations and content-based methods that compare item attributes. It then covers more advanced techniques like knowledge-based, matrix factorization, and ontology-based methods. The document also addresses challenges like data sparsity and cold starts. Finally, it discusses how recommender systems could be applied to health domains given the increasing use of online health information.
A Cognitive-Based Semantic Approach to Deep Content Analysis in Search EnginesMei Chen, PhD
We present a cognitive-based semantic approach that uses rule-based Natural Language Processing (NLP) in conjunction with a world model and cognitive frames to semantically analyze, understand, and rank digital text in search engines. The goal is to improve the relevance, accuracy, and efficiency of information search. The world model represents things existing in the real world (e.g., subject-related ontologies or classifications essential for understanding the topics to be analyzed) whereas cognitive frames specify possible users’ interactions with the world, including things that people should know or do (e.g., tasks, methods, procedures, cognitive processes) in such interactions. Using a rule-based semantic approach in conjunction with a subject-related world model and task-relevant cognitive frames to understand and evaluate text is innovative approach in search engine technology. It addresses three limitations of the existing approaches: the inadequate measure of the meaningful content in web pages; a poor understanding of users’ intention and tasks in their search and, the irrelevance and inaccuracy of search results. This method has led to the successful implementation of a full-scale semantic search engine in medicine (available at Seenso.com). The method is applicable and adaptable to other disciplines and other types of computer applications.

Key Topics in Health Care Technology Evaluation
The amount of new information and data, and the number of available technologies are growing at an ever-accelerating rate. Did you know that during any given 24 hours, humanity generates enough new information to fill the Library of Congress 70 times (Smolan & Erwitt, 2012)? As a nurse informaticist, it is important to keep current on new developments in the field, but with the rapid pace of change, that effort can be overwhelming. It is easier to keep current with key trends if nurse informaticists focus on selected issues.
In this Discussion, you consider key topics in the field of health care technology. You then consider the different approaches you could take when designing an evaluation in these areas. For example, if you are interested in usability, your goal could be to determine if a system is user friendly from the viewpoint of a nurse. A different goal might be to determine if the location of the system facilitates ease of use from the viewpoint of physicians.
Note:
This Discussion serves as practice for the first part of your Evaluation Project. What you derive from your Discussion with colleagues will likely inform the work that you do in Part 1 of the Evaluation Project.
The Discussion focuses on the following major topics in the health care information field:
Implementing HIT Systems
Consumer health information
Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
Decision support systems
Electronic health records (EHR)
Tele-medicine and eHealth

A doctor recommender system based on collaborative and content filteringIJECEIAES
The volume of healthcare information available on the internet has exploded
in recent years. Nowadays, many online healthcare platforms provide
patients with detailed information about doctors. However, one of the most
important challenges of such platforms is the lack of personalized services
for supporting patients in selecting the best-suited doctors. In particular, it
becomes extremely time-consuming and difficult for patients to search
through all the available doctors. Recommender systems provide a solution
to this problem by helping patients gain access to accommodating
personalized services, specifically, finding doctors who match their
preferences and needs. This paper proposes a hybrid content-based
multi-criteria collaborative filtering approach for helping patients find the
best-suited doctors who meet their preferences accurately. The proposed
approach exploits multi-criteria decision making, doctor reputation score,
and content information of doctors in order to increase the quality of
recommendations and reduce the influence of data sparsity. The
experimental results based on a real-world healthcare multi-criteria (MC)
rating dataset show that the proposed approach works effectively with regard
to predictive accuracy and coverage under extreme levels of sparsity.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Basics methods on recommender systems
○ The user may be asked to change the requirements
○ Constraint-based
■ Recommenders search for a set of items that fulfil
the recommendation rules (or requirements)
○ Case-based
■ Try to find items similar to the user’s requirements

Further methods on recommender systems
○ Finds useful patterns in a transaction dataset.
○ The association rules are following the form:
■ X → Y where X and Y are two disjoint subsets of all
available items that satisfy constraints on measures
of the significance and interestingness.
■ Represented in an iteration item matrix, each
intersection cell contains a boolean value: True
means presence and False means absence.

reduces the dimension of the associated matrices.
○ LSA: Latent Semantic Analysis - discovers the latent
factors and reduces the size of these matrices by
merging semantically similar element.
○ LSI: Latent Semantic Indexing - retrieves relevant
documents even if it does not contain many words of
the user's query.

Further methods on recommender systems
○ Gathering the precise meaning of one term and
determining relationships between them.
○ A term is made of words that represents an item.
○ Either terms or relations help the system to improve the
recommendations they make.
○ The Resource Description Format (RDF) is a standard
that represents information modeled as a "graph".

● Hybrid recommender systems combine two or more
recommendation approaches to gain better performance.
Most commonly, collaborative filtering is combined with
some mentioned techniques in order to minimise their
respective weaknesses.

Challenges on recommender systems
● Implicit and explicit ratings.
○ Localization/likes-dislikes
● Data sparsity.
○ “If two users suffer from the same disease they could
be considered similar even if they have not rated the
same item similarly”
● Cold-start.
○ New user o item?
● Serendipity/overspecialization.
○ Some recommenders rely on the similarity of items.
● Latency.
○ The system is unable to select recently added items.

Health Recommender Systems
○ Health professionals and patients are taking
advantage of social media, to find and share health
information. They connect with each other, and to
provide other helpful insights, but it is essential to be
aware of possibly unwanted consequences.
○ One way to avoid these effects is to take advantage of
health educational resources. Recommender systems
and personalized health education work together to
filter the overwhelming information and focus on the
actual user needs.

● Saluteca & Diavideos
○ Youtube provides an easy way to produce mashups
and use the potential and use the potential involved
in audiovisual communication.
○ We can find many Google groups who give support and
quick answers too.
○ They contain one of the largest repositories of videos,
which are provided by trustworthy content providers
based on the metric HealthTrust and hand-picked
channels.

102. Conclusions
HealthRecSys: a health recommender system
● Searching Terms (CBMS)
○ In the limitations of our study could be considered that
the recommendations are based exclusively in the
titles, which sometimes are not very representative of
the content.
○ It is relevant to underline that Method D offers two
advantages: on one hand the number of related links is
higher and there are more relevant information for the
users. On the other hand there are less unrelated links
and consequently, it is much more probable to find
information related to the video.

well with up to five recommended.
○ This approach can reduce the burden of health
consumers when searching for reliable additional health
educational content.
○ It was evaluated for 26 health professionals (raters)
